To start off with I am a Hellraiser/horror movie fan. I have been a fan of the Hellraiser characters from the beginning.
I have shuttered as each sequel excluding the 2nd which I loved, has gotten progressively worse but this has to be the bottom of the barrel I cant see it getting any worse than this. I watched this movie and still cant figure out who it was made for. It was not made for the Hellraiser or horror movie fan. Possibly it was made for the same people who like Halloween 3 I've gotten more scares watching a lifetime made for cable movie. 1.There was a total lack of direction, the movie never seemed to know whether it wanted to be a horror movie or a moralistic story on how if you do evil it will come back to haunt you. With all the possablities you could come up with using Pinhead they came up with a poormans NYPD BLUE and just added Pinhead in the role of some warped version of Jimeny Cricket.
2.The acting was stiff and it seemed as if the actors looked at cue cards the whole time.
3.Definate lack of Pinhead and the other Cenobites they mananaged to show more of them in the trailers than in the movie.
4.The sets and special effects where laughable.
5. The dialogue seemed written by someone in need of a quick paycheck it was worse than a tv movie.
The only thing I did like about this movie was that it came direct to video and I got it on a 2 for 1 night at the video store so it only cost a buck.
